Nola

City of New Orleans (City of New Orleans, yeah)
Bright lights and big dreams (Ohhh ohhhh)
Got love for New Orleans
Do you know what I mean

This is my city sometimes it's ugly, sometimes it's pretty
Turn on the news I know the k I knew the victim
They're misinformed sometimes it's just a misunderstanding
Sometimes it payback you know how some of these dudes plan it
But life goes on second line till I get home
I ride for mines whether we all right or we wrong
Enough on my plate, still make room for some more
I'm built for this here, no you don't know what I've endured
Gentrification they push our people out of their places
It's too expensive I can't live in the house I was raised in
They still a culture, but they don't wanna live with who made it
Ain't that some st that's a whole lot of slaps to the faces
We dream big no matter our current situation
Been through it all, we strong put us in any places
We're showing of that cash money like Slim and Baby
I gotta live, tomorrow ain't really promised ain't it

We struggle just to make it in New Orleans, New Orleans
We just wanna live out our dreams
And we don't wanna bother nobody
If you don't bother nobody
That's the place I wanna be

My city jumping we got the most interesting woman
They tell you something they back it up, keep it 400
I got family all over so you my be my cousin
Show me some love before you show me how you be thuggin'
I got bills to pay, ain't got the time of day
We been hustlin' since young, think I won't get this bread
I got children to raise, and I ain't even dad
I've got friends that's dd, their kids getting big
Still love in my city, wouldn't trade it for the world
Long as all my ns with me
We gon fight and make up, Imma need 10 minutes
Imma go and take a shower, you can meet me on Frenchman
Ya dig it
We ride bikes with lights, she get up and she ride
Like it was a Tuesday night
Before I walk up out this door you better hug me tight
This city small, never know who I'll bump into tonight
In New Orleans

We struggle just to make it in New Orleans, New Orleans
We just wanna live out our dreams
And we don't wanna bother nobody
If you don't bother nobody
That's the place I wanna be

Baaaty yaaaaty yaaaaty ya te yaaaaa
Ouuuuuu
Baaaty yaaaaty yaaaaty ya te yaaaaa
Place I wanna be city of New Orleans
Baaaty yaaaaty yaaaaty ya te yaaaaa
Ouuuuuu
Baaaty yaaaaty yaaaaty ya te yaaaaa
Place I wanna be city of New Orleans

We struggle just to make it in New Orleans, New Orleans
We just wanna live out our dreams
And we don't wanna bother nobody
If you don't bother nobody
That's the place I wanna be
